Abstract
The effect of mifepristone on the expression of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) in the endometrium of women using depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) was investigated in this randomized, placebo-controlled trial. The study showed that the administration of DMPA led to a substantial inhibition of endometrial SLPI protein and mRNA, and that the addition of mifepristone to DMPA-exposed endometrium partially restored the expression of glandular SLPI.
